My car came with the Pirelli cinturato grand touring all seasons. Car corners well but I'd like to add summer tires and spacers come spring. Will I tell much difference in handling? I'm thinking I will.

Also my car doesn't have PDCC but for those that do, can you feel it working on a PTT? Car doesn't seem to have much body roll anyway.

 

I have only had summer tires so can't comment on that

The PDCC works very well and I think rides better. I have no body role and a very smooth ride. I drove one without and seemed rougher and had more lean but I don't remember if it had the air or not.

 

I've driven with and without. PDCC makes big difference in handling especially when going hard. It's noticeably flatter and more composed in corners and on a track. If interested in optimizing this big, heavy platform, I wouldn't order without ( PTV and sport chrono also recommended) -especially if it's a Turbo or GTS. IMO, these cars have a much different and less sporty feel without.

 

In my 991 the PDCC at times felt a bit unnatural, trying to keep the body flat to make the ride better. Other times it definitely helped in hard cornering, but of course that platform with the wider track makes a huge difference over the 997. They say PDCC makes 4 sec difference worth of time on the ring.

I love having sport chrono to go to sport plus...haven't tested overboost yet but will soon. PDCC is the one option I didn't have on my PTT but the thing corners very flat already - I've hit 0.9 g's without much effort and that's on all seasons. This car will hit 1.0 g's!

 

PDCC makes my car just flat at corners, yes you can notice it. If you put propper high load summer tires, you will notice a major difference to all seasons, they are so soft. The well behaving car vs the bad boy.

 

I remember test driving a 2011 panny turbo S That had PDCC but no sport exhaust. To me a GTS or PTT with sport exhaust was more fun. Looking fwd to putting summers on!

 

PTTS has sports exhaust as standard, the tips just look different. The sport exhaust in both turbos is very nice, the problem is that you cant hear it in the car like in the gts. The blips are unnecessary in my opinion, I like performance more.

 

You can make it sound better by disconnecting left side vacuum tube from the exhaust actuators. This way gases exit from center pipes with more sound and flow on a PTT. Not sure about S models.
